PWHL Boston's general manager, Danielle Marmer, didn't hold back in praising Knight's qualities. In November, Marmer spoke to NESN.com, highlighting Knight's unquestionable fit for the role.
"I think Hillary Knight's a no-brainer," Marmer emphasized. "In terms of the experience that she brings, her leadership, the success that she's had on the ice, and honestly, what she's done for our game. If you think of Patrice Bergeron and what he did with the Bruins, I think Hillary Knight. I think that's a fair comparison, and one that I hope that she wants to live up to."
